So what's been happening over the past week. Neck is curing nicely. And a lot of body sanding... anyhow now at the timbermate stage. Here is the top
Before
And after (before sanding back)

I'll definitely have to muster up some sort of modified pickguard (or go for a clear one) to maximise grain viewing

nice one Ponch, is that the good old ebony timbermate ? It really does bring the best out of the lovely ash grain !
modified timber hider sounds like the go. Get Pablo to cut you a clear one. Looks great to see all the electronics as well as the ash grain !

Timbermate all sanded back ready for staining. So firstly this was sanded to 180 then filled with timbermate and sanded back with 240. Then a very light timbermating before knocking back with 320

that ash grain is popping nicely Ponch. Think diluted jarrah stain will look choice as bro !
I bet after all that sanding you will have forearms like Popeye haha

My arms are killing me lol!
Here's the first coat of stain. 10mls thinner 5mls stain. I'll do one more pass once this has dried
The ebony timbermate really does the job! It looks more orange in real life and the bit on the left not as dark
And a step closer to playing this thing..
